Chapter 63: The Last Words
After Emperor Zhaoxuan issued an edict for his own crimes, and at the same time promulgated monogamy, although there can be concubines and intercourse, but for those who spoil concubines and kill wives, the crime is equivalent to bullying the monarch and destroying the nine clans.
It also stipulates that if the wife dies, it cannot be renewed within three years, and the concubine cannot be corrected.
In addition, if the wife dies, if the wife's family has doubts in their hearts, they have the right to test the cause of death, if they really have doubts, they can sue the government, and the government has to accept it, and they must be fair, if they are found out of accepting bribes, they will be dismissed and distributed!
There are also many specific regulations, specific to how concubines should serve their husbands, elders, and wives.
This order, originally those who had three wives and four concubines, they were going to make two of their three wives as concubines, and the son also changed from a concubine to a concubine.
Of course, the issuance of this monogamy was approved by many far-sighted people, and only a few disagreed, so it was easy to suppress.
However, in this process, someone once wanted to launch a coup d'Γ©tat and was punished by Gong Qingmian in public, many people thought he was too stupid, if he seized the throne at this time, there was a chance that he could do it, but he was still stupid to help Gong Qingxi guard the world!
But because of this incident, no one dared to mention this stubble anymore.
Later, the women who married discovered the benefits of this monogamous system, and also supported this system, and slowly this system was recognized, and the national rebellion was officially put down.
At that time, the former Jin Kingdom was during the state funeral period when the Queen Mother died, and the two countries had just stopped fighting a truce before, so they did not take the opportunity to send troops. Dashengguo expressed his gratitude for this. Automatically send a lot of money and other items to show gratitude. It was also this move that made King Zhengwang very admired Gong Qingxi, that is, Emperor Zhaoxuan's style.
Since then, whenever there is a truce, the Jin State must send congratulatory gifts before the birthday of the Dasheng Palace, and the same is true for the Dasheng Kingdom.
After this truce, the invitation for the birthday of the prince and the wedding of the prince was sent to Dasheng Province at the same time. In previous years, although there were also congratulations, they did not send invitations. After all, this year is a little special, so I sent an invitation.
Gong Molin remembered, in the upper court. Emperor Zhaoxuan specially called him up, and then told him that he planned to let him go in person, although the courtiers were all against it, but his imperial uncle Gong Qingmian did not object.
He is the great Sima of the Great Sheng Kingdom, and his words are also very heavy.
At that time, when Emperor Zhaoxuan asked Gong Qingmian for his opinion, Gong Qingmian said: "The courtiers feel that this matter is not only feasible, but also imperative!" β
At that time, the court immediately exploded, and everyone was blaming Gong Qingmian, not knowing what he was thinking.
But the smile on Emperor Zhaoxuan's face was after hearing this. It became clearer and clearer, and he suppressed the discussion and asked, "What's the solution?" β
"On the birthday of the former Jin monarch, we are going to send someone. But the two princes got married at the same time, and the three ceremonies came together, that is the matter of three joys, if I Dasheng only sent an insignificant person... Those who don't know think we've confessed! β
As soon as these words came out, no one in the court spoke anymore, indeed, what I knew was that the two countries sent an envoy with a little status at will every year, but before this year, the Jin Kingdom was three happy people, if they sent an ordinary person, they were indeed suspected of cowardice.
Emperor Zhaoxuan said, "I think what my brother said is very right, and I have other intentions in sending Merlin. Looking at the post sent by the former Jin Kingdom, it means that it is four joys, if I guess correctly, he will also regard the matter of our victory and sending waiters to congratulate him as a joy, after all, this year my country is friendly with other countries, and there will be at least three years of peace. β
After a pause, he said: "In addition, I heard that his two sons are going to get married, I am also a little anxious, although I don't plan to choose someone from the former Jin Kingdom, but it's good to let Mo Lin take a look, so that he can also have an idea of getting married." Besides, letting Merlin go can make the old boy of the political king have some scruples about my thoughts, and just take the opportunity to investigate. β
"If he is afraid of the prince I sent, then he has confessed it, if not, he will not dare to take the crown prince of my Dasheng country at will at this moment. Otherwise, he will lose the support of the people in the world, how can he rule the country? Instead, he treated my son as a guest. β
Immediately, there was silence in the court, and after the court was dispersed, Emperor Zhaoxuan left the palace and the prime minister.
Gong Qingmian is the great Sima in the court, and he is the marshal in the army, and the prime minister is the prime minister in the court, and he is the general.
The two have the same official ranks, and they are also reused by Emperor Zhaoxuan, and Emperor Zhaoxuan and Gong Qingmian did not have intrigue among them like previous dynasties.
Because they are brothers in unison, the model of their profit and gold!
Gong Qingmian explained that Gong Molin's matter was naturally about the huge general, but the matter explained by the prime minister was a little difficult, you must know that the former Jin Kingdom was so big, and the person he was looking for may not be in this capital, which is like looking for a needle in the vast sea!
But now that he has an explanation, he has to do it.
Gong Molin finally sighed heavily, and it was only before this trip that Emperor Zhaoxuan told him what his mother's name was, and why she was trapped in the palace and finally burned to death by the fire. And there are also words that his mother and concubine were trapped in the palace, so that people could bring them out.
Those concubines took advantage of the departure of the people sent by Emperor Zhaoxuan and set her on fire!
Yes, that sentence became his mother's last words, so he must do it for her!
No matter how hard it is, he must finish it!
"Prince, go back to the house and rest. Although the former Jin Kingdom is not cold at this time, you should also pay attention to your body. β
Tiantong walked over and said with some concern.
Gong Molin turned his head to look at Tiantong, and then looked at the night sky again: "Tiantong, why do you say that there are no stars in the former Jin Kingdom?" I'd love to see the stars! When I was in the palace every day, I didn't know that one day I stepped out of the palace, and I would think like this...... Family. β
Home?
If the palace is big, although his father loves him, after all, he is busy with state affairs every day, and he doesn't have much time to see him, and every time he goes to ask for peace, he is in a hurry to see him, and his father will care about his recent food, clothing, housing and transportation, but he really doesn't have so much time to gossip with him.
And what about the Queen?
Although she won't hurt him, she can't do it if she can really care about him. After all, if it weren't for him, Emperor Zhaoxuan would not have deposed the Sixth Palace, although it seems that she is beautiful and monopolizes the emperor's favor, but who knows the bitterness in her heart?
That's right, the time when my father went to see her was not as much as the time to see Gong Molin!
As for the Queen Mother, her old man will not give him a good face, for the sake of his mother, how much pressure does Emperor Zhaoxuan put on, and how can the emperor's family have only one son? But Emperor Zhaoxuan has only one son!
The Queen Mother has asked Emperor Zhaoxuan to choose a concubine again many times, after all, he is not very old, and he is only thirty-five this year. If he takes another concubine and then opens up branches for the royal family, it is his duty to do so. But Emperor Zhaoxuan kept dragging it.
In the end, the Queen Mother was annoyed by Emperor Zhaoxuan, and she didn't even have a good face when she looked at Gong Molin.
But even so, he still longs for a home that doesn't have a hint of warmth. Because there, once the place where his mother and concubine stayed, once recorded the alliance between his father and his mother.
I don't know what kind of unforgettable love can make my father and mother do this.
"Prince..."
"Tiantong, don't think so much. I just sigh once in a while. By the way, you saw that woman today, right? You have better eyesight than I do, give me a description? β
Gong Molin turned around and sat down, with no intention of going back to the house to rest.
The guard, who was known as Tiantong, couldn't help but stroke his forehead, I said, Lord Prince, you just arrived in the former Jin Kingdom and didn't do anything serious and thought about women? And the point is that this woman is the daughter of a huge general, and a huge general will not marry us if he is killed.
What's more, His Majesty has no intention of marrying the former Jin Kingdom.
Even if it's a marriage, it will definitely not be with you! Whoever made you the prince, if you want to blame, blame your father for why he didn't have more sons!
But he didn't dare say it.
But not saying it doesn't mean that his thoughts haven't been seen through, Gong Molin has completely understood his thoughts!
"Tiantong, is it your right to be a guard to scold the master in your heart and speak ill of the master? If I'm not mistaken, you seem to train with the Dark Guard, and that's right..."
"Prince, you don't have to beat your subordinates, your subordinates say it's not enough!"
Gong Molin was happy when he heard this, wouldn't it be over like this a long time ago! Why waste so many of my tongues.
So Tiantong began to talk about the appearance of the woman he saw, Gong Molin listened to Tiantong's words and sketched a picture of a beautiful woman in his mind, if it was really as Tiantong said, it was even more beautiful than his second sister!
Princess Qingyun is more than half a month older than Gong Molin, because there have always been four children in the palace, so the relationship between the four of them is still very good. Although Princess Qingyun's biological mother was not whipped out of the palace because of Princess Qingyun, she was sent elsewhere to be raised. Still not in the palace.
The eldest princess, Princess Rongfu, is born to the queen, so her number is different from others.
The biological mother of the third princess, Princess An Ping, gave birth to her, but died due to postpartum weakness but did not recuperate. The third princess was later raised by the queen's side. So the relationship between the eldest princess and the third princess is much better than others.
And Gong Molin has a good relationship with the second princess, because Gong Molin sympathizes with her, although she has a biological mother, she can only accompany her for a few days a year. Although she was also raised in front of the queen, she has a biological mother in the end, so the queen can't get close.
"Prince, shouldn't you... Got your heart on that woman, right? β
Tiantong asked tentatively.
Gong Molin threw him a big roll of his eyes: "When will it be your turn to ask about the master?" It's late, and it's time for me to sleep. β
After speaking, Gong Molin got up and went back to the room, but Tiantong was stunned.
The prince did not refute ... (To be continued......)
